Female Novel
Chapter 104 I Cannot Let This Go Easily
Seeing that it was the weekend, the Cross family decided to go shopping at the Sky River Shopping
Mall.
When they arrived at the mall, Nathan had Penny and his in-laws take Queenie in first while he parked
the car.
Penny decided to bring them to the third floor where all the famous branded stores like Gucci, Chanel,
and LV were located.
Nathan had been shopping with her recently so she did not need to buy anything. Her main purpose
here today was actually to buy her parents some clothes.
They had been working hard all their lives for her. Even though their quality of life was a lot better now,
they were still wearing the same old clothes they had for close to a decade.
Carrying Queenie in her arms, Penny led her parents into a Gucci store.
Benson and Leah had hardly ever been to a luxury brand store like this. As Benson looked around the
brightly lit store with high-quality clothing, he lowered his voice as he asked his daughter, "Penny, these
clothes look really expensive."
His daughter smiled as she answered, "It's okay. I want to get the two of you a few sets of nice
clothing."
They were astonished when they heard that their daughter was there to buy clothes for them. They had
hardly ever bought lavish clothing like the ones on display in this store.
Leah stole a glance at the price tag of one of the suits on the racks. When she saw the number printed
on it, her eyes bulged out in alarm. Then, she pulled her husband aside and whispered, "Oh my god!
This suit is nearly thirty thousand!"
Her husband was equally shocked as he hurriedly said, "That's outrageous! We can't afford that. I think
we should go back to Helen's House. One piece of clothing here is probably equal to a hundred pieces
over there!"
Penny opened her mouth wanting to tell them it was fine and they could afford it. Before she could say
anything, a woman's voice rang out shrilly, "Hey! Get your grubby hands off the clothes! Don't touch
anything If you can't afford it!”
A woman with heavy makeup on her scowling face strode towards them. There was a name tag pinned
to her chest that stated 'Store Manager, Scarlet'.
Leah dropped the price tag she held instantly like she had been electrocuted. Her face was
embarrassed as she apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I was careful to not touch the suit itself; I
only wanted to have a look at the price tag."
Scarlet sniffed disdainfully before she ranted, "Who said you could touch the price tags as you please?
I absolutely hate you filthy villagers; you're as uncivilized and dirty as a pig! What are you doing here
when you can't possibly afford anything in this store anyway? Go to Helena's Happy house or
whatever. How annoying!"
Benson and Leah flushed in embarrassment as they apologized profusely. They tugged on Penny
wanting to leave the shop immediately.novelbin
Penny was not going to put up with this nonsense. A look of fury appeared on her face as she told
them, "Dad, Mum, we can't just let that go!”
Planting her hands on her hips, Scarlet sneered, "Hah! Not willing to accept the cold, hard truth? Why
don't you prove me wrong then? If you're really not some bumpkin from the countryside, just buy the
suit. I seriously doubt you can afford it!"
Scarlet had taken notice of Penny's clothing and instantly deduced she was probably a white-collar
worker here with her farmer parents. If she tightened her belt a little, maybe she could buy one or two
pieces of clothing from this shop. This was why Scarlet had deliberately provoked them.
If Penny could not afford to buy anything, Scarlet would have the perfect opportunity to scold these
miserable wretches. On the other hand, if the woman did force herself to buy something, Scarlet would
be able to get a hefty commission. It was a win-win situation for her.
With nothing to lose, she stared at Penny challengingly.
Enraged by the store manager's words, Penny was about to buy the suit when Nathan entered the
store. Spotting the furious look on his wife's face, he asked lowly, "What happened?"
At his appearance, Benson, Leah and Penny calmed down slightly. For some reason, his presence
always brought a sense of security and comfort to them.
From her mother's arms, Queenie piped up, "Papa, this lady here says we're too poor to afford the
clothing here. She's trying to chase us out."
